What appears to be a Ruddy Shleduck is hanging out at the Bird Refuge. I just came from there and found it near the third platform. Interesting bird and the extent of white on the head and neck seems to be a little atypical for this species; however, I did find some photos and videos on-line that came close. The iridescence on the wing panel is really striking in the right light.
